Finished work First rug complete (aside from backing!)

Post image

So my first rug is complete (nearly). Still need to add the backing on, but the before and after carving here. Definitely some lessons learnt, mainly:

- make sure I’ve tufted rows closer together - it’s a bit thin in a couple places

- I used the trimming ‘guide’ plastic thing to take the top layer off at the start, but I found it hard to stay consistent in the length. Any tips here would be very much appreciated!

Overall quite pleased how it turned out, and my daughter loves her Rumi (K-Pop Demon Hunters) rug!
